Can you break into with a good track record only?

If one has graduated from non-target university with non-finance major without any finance internships and with low gpa but can show that he has independently grinded 1k to 10k in 6 months in currency trading would that be enough to break into trading?

So, my question is, if you can show your records that proves that you are have been trading successfully, will that be enough to get you in?

If you have turned a thousand real dollars into 10 thousand real dollars in 6 months, why would you want to work for anyone else?

Because they could turn a million dollars into ten million and keep a percent of it, theoretically speaking, turning that six thousand into comparative pocket change.

I know a guy that got in like this, landed a job, and made literal killing with the increased access to capital. Get printouts of your trading and bring it to a shop. Is this real money or paper trading?
